The "Mewt Crisis", as some people have melodramatically dubbed it, was a time period lasting several months in which a user known as Mewtworules caused trouble on here by generally annoying users and treating others rudely, but he claimed that he was unfairly punished, so he would create alternative accounts to avoid the ban on his Mewtworules account. Needless to say, whenever a new user showed up during this time, people were very suspicious and believed it to be another account belonging to Mewtworules. Some people (including Thornclaw) were so distraught over the trouble he caused that they left to join Holt Rhulain Wiki.

While I do not advocate violating the rules based on the claim that his treatment was "unjust" despite receiving an overabundant amount of second chances from me, I believe the entire situation was blown out of proportion, but, had Mewtworules gone along with his initial punishment like he should have done, the situation would not have escalated to the point that it became referred to as a "crisis."
